errors generally lead to poor classication accuracy. These effects can be cor-

rected to a certain extent using appropriate models.

4.5 Temporal Resolution

One of the main advantages of satellite remote sensing is its ability to

repeatedly observe a scene at regular intervals. Temporal resolution refers

to the temporal frequency with which a given scene can be imaged, usu-

ally expressed in days. The IRS-1C LISS-III camera has a temporal resolu-

tion of 24 days. That is any part of the globe (except around the pole) can be

imaged every 24 days. This is also called repetivity. Repetivity depends on

the orbi
